  1. Re:15%.. on Peter Molyneux Apologizes for Fable · · Score: 1

    Grandparent means to imply that it was deemed impossible to write a tree-growing algorithm that takes up 15% CPU time, which is of course bollocks.

  2. Re:Just get off the keyboard retard! on Experiences with Pair Programming? · · Score: 1

    Attached, please find an overview of the company
    guidelines, and prospectus.

    It is most efficient to communicate by means of the
    internet. I have conducted studies to confirm this.
    Please convey your remarks via email.

    How are you coming along on the prospectus?

  3. Re:I suggest we really fuck up the game. on Online Game Encouraging Spam · · Score: 1

    It won't discourage them, as it gives them more hits, and give random players more power.

    Just ignore them.

  4. Re:WAV files on First JPEG Virus Posted To Usenet · · Score: 1

    Sad, yes. Lonely, no.

  5. Re:In other news... on Possible 'Hazardous Event' At Mount St. Helens · · Score: 1

    I guess you don't have volcano insurance?

  6. Re:Censorship always evil! on Google Confirms Chinese Censorship Claims · · Score: 1

    You need paradox-absorbing crumple zones installed in your head.

  7. Re:Censorship? Not really. on Google Confirms Chinese Censorship Claims · · Score: 1

    So if someone complains about your poor language, is he then a "grammer nazzi"? :-P

  8. Re:That's fair enough on Google Confirms Chinese Censorship Claims · · Score: 1

    Google cache is already disabled in China, at least, that's what previous Slashdot comments mention.

  9. Re:People tend to last longer than dot-coms. on Not Life After Death -- Email After Death · · Score: 1

    There'd be no-one to tell you:

    WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!!

    Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
    Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.

  10. Re:Thank you sir, may I have another photo publish on Why You Should Never Lose Your Digital Media · · Score: 2, Funny

    Music Theory has been worthless ever since Bach's Cathedral was built!

  11. Re:Real world vs. fanboy fantasies on Hawaii Puts Old Computers To Work in Linux Labs · · Score: 1

    Are you related to Eric S Rayrnond (739458) by any chance?

  12. Re:I read that the police does that in China on FTC Recommends Bounty on Spammers · · Score: 1

    Yes, but how can you be sure they're not joe-jobs?

  13. Re:Open source software on eBay on P2P vs. The Clones · · Score: 1

    Around here, they call it the German lottery. Figures...

  14. Re:Abraham Lincoln said... on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 1

    That's because it's actually the new European flag, and the twelve stripes are for the twelve founding countries. If you look at the stars part, you'll notice there are way fewer than fifty stars, instead, there's one for every EC member country.

  15. Re:Ex Amazon Employee on Katie Jones Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Yes, it looks like they have removed the comments manually, instead of just removing all comments on the book from the time Slashdotters started "crapflooding" the page.

    BTW, I found the "crapflood" pretty amusing, actually.

  16. Re:...EU software patents? on City of Munich Freezes Its Linux Migration · · Score: 1

    Parent post is a good post that could do with some positive moderation, even if it's an AC.

  17. Re:...EU software patents? on City of Munich Freezes Its Linux Migration · · Score: 1

    No, the implementation of an algorithm is less generic, and more specific.

    So if you invented a faster sorting algorithm, and wanted to patent it, you'd have to describe how it works in pseudo-code, and implement it in a real programming language and show that it works.

    If the patenting process actually worked as designed, such an invention might be worth a patent, but considering what's happening now, I think we're better off without software patents.

  18. Re:Wow, $712 gained from file sharing! on The File Sharing Database · · Score: 1

    Wow, that's enough to purchase a SCO Linux license ($699) and a CD ($13)!

  19. Re:Sold out for a buck on Parody or Satire? Threat To Sue JibJab · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No, those old Disney cartoons should be in the public domain, and Mickey Mouse should remain a trademark of Disney Corp. [I.e. you should be able to distribute the old Disney cartoons verbatim, but not able to make your own Mickey Mouse cartoon or distribute edited versions of the old cartoons.]

    Disney didn't distribute Fahrenheit 9/11 because they have a policy not to publish political movies (this has been different in past decades).

  20. Re:Suckers on Halo 2 Website Puzzle Confounds · · Score: 1

    That's probably the reverse of what happened when Microsoft seemed to be running Linux.

  21. Re:Open-source Hardware on Build Your Robot Online · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be much cheaper to setup a website where individuals can order the parts, and then to combine all those orders into one big order? It'd be much cheaper than having loads of one-off orders with the accompanying setup and handling costs.

    Yes, I'm Dutch ;-)

  22. Re:hacking into fed radio frequency now... on Bobby Fischer Found · · Score: 1

    Well, they had on their side the element of surprise... SURPRISE!

  23. Re:SG-1 Continuity? on Stargate Atlantis Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Informative

    They had an episode with a mediaeval village and an Unas who pretended to be the devil and demanded sacrifices.

    I think the writers handled that pretty well. Those people were abducted by a ship (people claim that happens all the time!), and of course no Goa'uld could play a good-aligned god, so it chose to play his nemesis, the devil.

    And of course the sets, they're always very good. Especially that 1940s planet with all the old-fashioned lab equipment, that was really good.

  24. Re:Of course on Ammonia Could Indicate Life On Mars · · Score: 1

    Nonono, it's because of the Ass of Mars, exactly on the opposite side of the planet from the Face of Mars.

  25. Re:Of course on Ammonia Could Indicate Life On Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I didn't see the episodes when they first aired. [...] why did Fox have to cancel[?]

    You answered your own question already.
